Apple pulls in billions of dollars every quarter, but if iPhone sales do indeed fall in 2016 then the company needs another product in the wings that might take up the slack. But what will that product be?
Apple is a tech powerhouse, but the company is heavily reliant on the iPhone for the bulk of its revenue and profits. Now that an analyst has pointed the bone at Apple and predicted that sales of the smartphone will fall by as much as 5.7 percent during 2016, then Apple might be on the lookout for a new product to take up the revenue/profits slack.
But what will that product - or products - be?
Let's begin the obvious - existing products. Apple could expand sales of products such as the iPad, Macs, and the Apple Watch to bolster sales. But iPad sales are headed downwards, and Mac sales are pretty flat. That leaves the Apple Watch, which looks set to pull in a few billion dollars and could become the Cupertino giant's second biggest cash magnet.
Apple could also try to head off the decline in iPhone sales, and it seems like it might already be starting to do just that.
But what about new products? Is Apple going to drop a "one more thing" on us this year? And if so, what might it be?
Let's throw out there a few ideas:
Virtual Reality: Oculus Rift and HoloLens are looking promising, and Apple could leverage its huge developer base to do some interesting things, even if it was along the lines of
Google Cardboard.
Gaming: Apple TV feels like it's heading in this direction.
Automotive: No, not a car, but I can see greater in-car integration, and possible Apple dashboards and such.
More wearables: With Google Glass still being a thing, and Apple having ventured into the wearables space with the Apple Watch, more wearables that connect with the iPhone make sense.
Mac tablet: I know Tim Cook sort of ruled this out, but that means nothing. If there's money in it, Apple will be eyeing it.
Home automation: Another growth area, and since Apple controls the hub - the iPhone - then why not the devices themselves?
More accessories: Apple is already pushing out more accessories than ever - including that ugly battery pack - so why not more stuff? Even crazy stuff such as toys or drones?
All these seem to have the potential to pull in billions of dollars. But which option will Apple choose?

Want to install an extra SIM card in your iPhone 6s? Here's how to do just that.
While most people manage quite well with a single SIM card, if you want better demarcation between your work and home life, or you want to make roaming with multiple SIM cards easier, then having the extra SIM already in your smartphone is going to be a real timesaver.
But how do you install an extra SIM or two into the iPhone 6s? After all, that SIM tray is far too small to accept another SIM.
Fear not! Here's how you do it. And don't worry, as no jailbreaking is required.
Enter the SIMore X-Twin 6S Plus, a dual SIM device that allows you to have 2 SIM cards (1x nano SIM, and 1x standard SIM) in your smartphone. The nano SIM sits in the SIM card tray along with the tail of the X-Twin 6S Plus adapter so that it makes contact with the SIM card pin assembly inside the handset (yes, that ribbon cable is thin enough to fit between the SIM tray and the body of the iPhone 6. Then the other SIM card fit into the adapter.
Now you don't want to be walking around with a ribbon cable hanging off your handset, which is why you pop it all into a supplied case, which keeps everything tidy. The case also protects your handset and also servers as a holder for additional SIM cards and a SIM tray popout pin.
And that's it. You switch between SIM cards from the iOS interface by going Settings > Phone > SIM Applications.
The kit, which includes the adapter and a case for your iPhone 6s, is €35 (around $40). If you have an iPhone 6s Plus you can still use the kit but you'll need to find a flexible rubber case to house the adapter.
There are also versions available for other popular handsets, such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6.

A New Zealand passport will get you places - and it's been named the seventh most powerful passport in the world.
A recent study by Henley & Partners, a London-based consulting firm that specialises in citizenship services, rates world passport's based on how much visa-free travel they entitle their owner to.
While Germany was ranked at the top of the list with visa-free access to 177 countries out of 218, New Zealand tied for seventh place with Greece.
Both countries are able to visit 171 countries, visa free.
After three consecutive years at number one, the United Kingdom dropped to third place, with Sweden coming in second.
And when it came to the least powerful passports, Afghanistan was at the bottom of the table with visa-free access to just 25 countries.
